Generation. I only own any character that I produce through my own
imagination.
Authors Note: Thanks for the reviews of chapter 1!
Craig walks through the deserted hallways of Degrassi after an interview with Mr. Simpson about his media immersion assignment. He pauses from somewhere in the school he can hear music.
He wanders around for a while and stops in front of the music room. He opens the door slightly and then a little more. He sees someone sitting at a grand piano that must be new because he never noticed it before.
He looks closer and realizes that it is the new girl, Evonne. And the music she is playing enchants him. He wished that he had his camera right now. He can see her face as she concentrates on the music. He can't believe that the girl that he had met today who was so quiet could produce a sound so full of longing. It seemed like this girl was wise beyond her years but you just couldn't see it.
The janitor walking past makes a banging sound and Evonne stops abruptly. She turns around and sees Craig. She bites her lip, looks around nervously and then looks back at him.
"Hey, you're good."
Evonne relaxes and smiles at him. Her smile is wide and full of warmth.
"Thanks."
Evonne stands up and picks up her bag and her sheet music. She walks towards the door and Craig holds it open for her. For some reason she feels safe talking to Craig. Very slowly, she opens up to him and they are soon talking happily about many things.
Craig arrives home feeling great and not sure of why he does but he just.does. Evonne feels great until she reaches a house hidden by dense shrubbery. Then the reality of why she is here hits again as she walks through the front door. Behind her, the reality of the world disappears and she steps into her nightmare.
Slowly day after day Evonne discovers new things and new friends. She makes friends with Spinner's little sister and then with Toby, JT, Emma and Manny. She can mix well with both the grade 8 and grade 9's because she is the same age as the grade 8's but she lives in the world of the grade 9's.
She soon finds out the secrets and the real personalities of almost everyone. She knows that Toby likes Kendra more then anyone he has ever liked before including Emma. Paige is strong on the outside but is a whirlwind of emotions inside. Jimmy feels like the entire world is against him. And Manny likes Craig and daydreams about him all the time.
Today she walks into school refreshed after a weekend and ready to take on the world. Or so it seems.
"Hey, Craig."
"Hey, Eve"
"Craig have you ever considered Manny as someone you would go out with?"
"She's cute."
"Is that all you can say?"
Craig shrugs. He has to admit that he did tell Joey that he likes Manny. And she is cute.and sweet and naïve. And right then as if on cue Manny and Emma run towards them.
"Craig! Evonne!"
Emma and Manny cry simultaneously and race towards them. Evonne chuckles at their energy.
"Hi Manny, hi Emma."
"Hey"
Evonne steals a glance at Craig his voice has become smooth almost seductive at the sight of Manny.of was it because of Emma? No from the look on his face, it is Manny that is producing this reaction.
"Cya in form Craig. Bye Manny, bye Emma."
Manny and Emma echo goodbyes and then immediately turn back to Craig. As usual JT and Toby are standing behind them speculating about Craig and his hidden appeal.
